However, few studies have investigated the relationship between sleep and the inflammatory potential of the diet. Thus, the purpose of the present study was to explore the association between the scores on the Energy-Adjusted Dietary Inflammatory Index (E-DII) and sleep quality in Lebanese university students.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Materials and Methods\u2003We conducted a cross-sectional study with students attending the Tripoli campus of Beirut Arab University. A total of 270 students aged between 17 and 25 years were randomly selected. All students filled out a multicomponent questionnaire that included an assessment of their sleep quality using the Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index, and of their physical activity level using the short version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire. The scores on the E-DII were calculated based on a validated food frequency questionnaire.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Results\u2003Individuals in the highest (most proinflammatory) quartile of the E-DII were at an increased risk of having poor overall sleep quality compared with the lowest quartile (odds ratio [OR]\u2009=\u20092.86; 95% confidence interval [95%CI]: 1.27\u20136.44). Regarding the individual domains of sleep quality, subjects in quartiles 3 and 4 of the E-DII were at an increased risk of having poor sleep efficiency compared with those in quartile 1 (OR\u2009=\u20092.49; 95%CI: 1.12\u20135.54; and OR\u2009=\u20092.52, 95%CI: 1.13\u20135.62 respectively). However, individuals in quartile 3 were at a reduced risk of having daytime dysfunction compared with those in the lowest quartile (OR\u2009=\u20090.44; 95%CI: 0.23\u20130.83).<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Conclusion\u2003The inflammatory potential of the diet seems to be related to sleep quality in our sample of Lebanese university students. Future prospective studies are required to further explore this association.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0044-1780501","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,10]],"date-time":"2024-05-10T21:58:40Z","timestamp":1715378320000},"page":"e235-e243","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Association between the Dietary Inflammatory Index and Sleep Quality among Lebanese University Students"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"17","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3841-0545","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zeina","family":"El-Ali","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nutrition and Dietetics, Faculty of Health Sciences, Beirut Arab University, Tripoli, Lebanon"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0677-2672","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"James R.","family":"Hebert","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, Cancer Prevention and Control Program, Arnold School of Public Health, University of South Carolina, Columbia, South Carolina, United States"},{"name":"The Cancer Prevention and Control Program, University of South Carolina, Columbia, SC, United States"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michael D.","family":"Wirth","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, Cancer Prevention and Control Program, Arnold School of Public Health, University of South Carolina, Columbia, South Carolina, United States"},{"name":"The Cancer Prevention and Control Program, University of South Carolina, Columbia, SC, United States"},{"name":"Department of Nutrition, Connecting Health Innovations LLC (CHI), Columbia, SC, United States"},{"name":"Department of Biobehavioral Health and Nursing Science, College of Nursing, University of South Carolina, Columbia, SC, United States"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rosy","family":"Mitri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nutrition and Dietetics, Faculty of Health Sciences, Beirut Arab University, Tripoli, Lebanon"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"151","DOI":"10.2147\/NSS.S134864","article-title":"Short- and long-term health consequences of sleep disruption","volume":"9","author":"G Medic","year":"2017","journal-title":"Nat Sci Sleep"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1989","DOI":"10.2147\/NDT.S142067","article-title":"Sleep problems in university students - an intervention","volume":"13","author":"A A Schlarb","year":"2017","journal-title":"Neuropsychiatr Dis Treat"},{"issue":"05","key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"264","DOI":"10.3109\/07853890.2014.931103","article-title":"Sleep debt and obesity","volume":"46","author":"V Bayon","year":"2014","journal-title":"Ann Med"},{"key":"ref4","first-page":"203","article-title":"Insufficient sleep and cardiovascular disease risk","volume":"\u2022\u2022\u2022","author":"S Javaheri","year":"2019","journal-title":"Sleep Health"},{"issue":"01","key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"110","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1749-6632.2012.06655.x","article-title":"Interacting epidemics?
